The 4 corners agreement was signed in a ceremony Monday afternoon in Gaborone, Botswana.

Respecting All Life."

The program provides educational and financial assistance to Africans pursuing master's or doctoral studies in subjects such as species and ecosystem conservation, community conservation, and resource economics.
